function Get-DbaServerRole {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
        Gets the list of server-level roles.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
        Gets the list of server-level roles for SQL Server instance.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlInstance
        The target SQL Server instance or instances. Server version must be SQL Server version 2005 or higher.
 
    .PARAMETER SqlCredential
        Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Windows and SQL Authentication supported. Accepts credential objects (Get-Credential)
 
    .PARAMETER ServerRole
        Server-Level role to filter results to that role only.
 
    .PARAMETER ExcludeServerRole
        Server-Level role to exclude from results.
 
    .PARAMETER ExcludeFixedRole
        Filter the fixed server-level roles. Only applies to SQL Server 2017 that supports creation of server-level roles.
 
    .PARAMETER EnableException
        By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.
